I do have my finger on the trigger of ANX. Your post about doing TA just sums up my approach to buying a stock. In short, you are trying to predict the future. In order to do that, here's the input(s) I rely on to make the initial decision:
1. I look at the Penny Stock Guru's site, read his picks. I look for one that has a compelling story, is a somewhat real company. The trick to using his recommendations is to GO BACK at least one week and see how his previous picks are doing.
Usually, you can find that his timing was off, or see what truly happened (versus his prediction/recommendation).
2. Go to The Shrub (and Google, etc.) to see what the overall feeling is of the lemmings. The word on the street, in other words. I get the overall sentiment here.
3. Read the iBox on The Shrub to see share structure, etc.
4. Look at the chart, at least going back one year. See how the stock has performed.

Wad all those up and see how you feel about the stock at that moment. If I'm still interested, I may go through all that one more time (a day later), and if there are no major red flags, I will make a buy.

I then immediately set a sell order for where I want to exit (in a perfect world).

For ANX, I set my sell at $.28 (remember that I bought in at $.18). To me, that's a decent gain for my money. If things flatten out, I'll accept less. If things get really hot, I may hold off for more.

Hey Greg,

Like your strategy there ... Mine is probably bit's and pieces of the same, short of the impulsive and now somewhat regretfully decisions of the last several weeks. Tooling around the shrub has been educational on a number of fronts, I am more inclined towards Sheff's board but the ranges are a bit out of my reach right now ... Still looking to unload a couple of these dogs that I hit too late, the cinnabar consortium's. The great "Q" is still as intriguing as ever ...

Some very interesting and intriguing stuff as I carried this out even further. The LZ company I followed over on to the Australian exchange and read through their recent history. At any rate I was able to confirm this gentleman's involvement this morning, albeit unable to further comment which is understandable.

LT,
I'm still loving QASP. It looks to have a bright future. On a monthly basis it swings about 25% which makes it great for trading while waiting for the bigger move.
I've been selling a lot of my holdings as I raise cash for our business expansion that we're going through right now. But..... I keep loading up on QASP. I think it's a really good long term buy at these prices. A lot of profit can be made on this stock over the next several months in my opinion.

Are you even allowed to trade that thing? I can't whatsoever, I actually still have shares of that dog, but the symbol isn't allowed to buy or sell, and the price says N/A every day in my account, lol.

Honestly... I do not have a clue if i can trade it or not. still shows a balance with TDA.

Visited the shrub today to see if anything was brewing...they were trashing Karen Willoughby of PR. Someone got a email response from her basically stating the same crap we got last year about making progress but nothing new to report!

Hello

Hey Gang,

Just been laying low lately. Nothing to exciting on my end, not much trading going on. Most of my plays, with the exception of SIRI, have been stagnant. Of course, still holding out hope that the great "Q" is the real deal, only time will tell...and at this point I have plenty of "time", not to mention a buttload of shares.

Gonna have a busy weekend of coaching wrestling matches and looks like the chatter on the forum is at an all time low...I thought Id check in and say HI and hope everyone has a great weekend.

I'll end this with a few pictures of life in Alaska....take care, Andy

Thanks for the pics...good thing you are a hunter...the testerone levels of the young men chasing that beautiful young lady will definetly be depressed knowing your background. I'm sure they wont try a damn thing with her! LOL

have a great w/e everyone!

Gone Skiing for the next 7 days!

Jeff
